The first year is the most critical in creating a strong foundation for your Office Pride business. Our Launch-to-Growth program provides ongoing, side-by-side coaching from a launch specialist who will be with you every step of the way throughout the first year of your business operations. The Launch-to-Growth timeline comprises three specific foundation-building phases.
In the first phase, certified trainers and your Launch-to-Growth specialist will walk you through hiring and training employees, generating leads and closing sales, and applying the fundamentals of sound financial management.
In this phase, your Launch-to-Growth specialist will coach you on how to retain qualified employees, retain customers and manage business financials for continued healthy growth.
In this phase, you will continue to receive additional coaching and reinforcement on effective and efficient methods for floor cleaning, specialty cleaning, budget management, growing your team of employees and targeting large accounts.
Once you have established your foundation, you will transition to our franchise business coaching team. You will have monthly coaching sessions with a dedicated franchise business consultant who will work with you to stay on track with your business plan and achieve the goals of your franchise vision plan.
The Office Pride franchise operations team will continue to provide you with the tools and coaching you need to run your business, track progress toward meeting your business goals and measure the results of your business activities.
Office Pride franchisees are members of peer groups called “Vision Groups.” You will be assigned to a group of franchisees who are at or near your stage of growth. Vision groups give you the benefit of interacting, communicating, learning and building relationships with other franchisees. Franchisees highly value these relationships as they grow. You will build a great professional peer network and form connections and friendships to last a lifetime.
The annual owners’ retreat is a time for franchise business owners to gather for fellowship, networking and learning about industry hot topics and best practices. At retreat, you will be able to attend business leadership seminars and keynote speaker sessions and meet Office Pride’s preferred vendor partners. Highlights include an awards dinner to recognize top-performing franchisees and a time of sharing during which we reflect on past accomplishments, what we have learned and where we are headed.
In addition to the annual franchise owner retreat, Office Pride provides various training opportunities throughout the year. These include virtual and in-person workshops, in-person floor care training, vendor-led webinars and more. You and other franchise owners will stay up-to-date and receive practical education on industry techniques and trends that will help you in the daily operations of your business.
